Lena Headey once said, “It’s a feeling without a lid, of what you do, physically, verbally, to protect the one thing that is your greatest love.” This is just what Rikki-Tikki is like, he protects the ones he loves without the blink of an eye and tries his hardest to ensure their safety. Kind of like a firefighter, don’t you think? When reading Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, almost everyone will know he is a determined character willing to do anything as long as his loved ones are safe.
